Head-to-head Dota 2 7.41e win rate from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Night Stalker wins the Grimstroke vs Night Stalker matchup: Night Stalker beats Grimstroke in 53.46% of 765 ranked matches.
Picking one of these heroes into the other is a bet on who controls the fight. Night Stalker's whole game is about using the cover of night to get a jump, and his silence from Crippling Fear means a lone Grimstroke is an easy kill before he can cast a spell. If Night Stalker can consistently find Grimstroke isolated during Dark Ascension, he'll have a great time. On the other hand, a prepared Grimstroke can completely dismantle that aggression. Landing Soulbind on a diving Night Stalker and his partner can single-handedly turn a gank around. Even a well-timed Ink Swell on the hero being jumped can save a life and punish the dive. It all depends on vision and reaction time.
